INTRODUCTION 

The  treatment  of  the  Subfamily  Cicindelinse  having  been  completed 
by  Dr.  Walther  Horn  in  the  Genera  Insectorum,*  it  seems  advisable  to 
publish,  for  the  use  of  American  students,  an  abstract  of  the  portions 
devoted  to  the  classification  of  the  North  American  genera. 

The  entire  work  of  Dr.  Horn  covers  476  pages  and  embraces  ex- 
haustive treatises  on  the  anatomy  and  phylogeny  of  the  Cicindelinae 
as  an  introduction  to  the  classification  of  the  genera  of  which  the 
subfamily  is  composed.     This  introductory  matter  is  of  special  interest 
because  of  the  value  ascribed  by  the  author  to  the  pubescence  (par- 
ticularly of  the  Cicindelae)   as  a  guide  in  the  classification  of  that 
genus.     In  1899  (Deutsche  Ent.  Zeitschr.,  p.  34)  Dr.  Horn  had  called 
attention   to   the   parallelism    existing   between    the   pubescence   and 
the  elytral  markings.     In  1906  (Ib.,  p.  336  )he  emphasized  his  theory 
by  suggesting  that  there  had  been  an  evolution   from  immaculate 
forms,  in  which  only  constant  hairs  occur,  to  forms  exhibiting  com- 
plex markings,  accompanied  by  ornamental  pubescence  as  well  as  con- 
stant hairs.    In  his  last  work  the  words  "  maculation  and  ornamental 
pubescence  are  both  products  of  concurrent  evolution"  still  more  em- 
>-i  phatically  establish  the  author's  grounds  for  his  subsequent  classifica- 
O  tion.     The  maculation  being  subject  to  such  great  degree  of  varia- 
O  tion  from  climatic  and  other  causes  as  to  become  liable  to  mislead  if 
N  relied  upon  in  classification,  he  considers  the  pubescence,  and  espe- 
«£  cially  the  constant  hairs,  which  to  some  extent  at  least  escape  such 
S  variation,  the  safer  guide.     The  recognition  of  the  constant  hairs  be- 
|    comes  therefore  of  importance,  and  pp.  210  to  222  of  Dr.  Horn's 
work  are  devoted  to  them.     Usually  these  are  "  long,  thin,  erect  and 
i£  few  in  number,"  those  of  the  trochanters  being  of  that  kind ;  the  orna- 
•3  mental  hairs  are  "  short,  thick,  decumbent,  and  countless  in  number," 
%  those  of  the  clypeus  and  pronotum  affording  examples.     The  constant 
^  hairs  are,  however,  sometimes  short  and  bristle-like,  as  on  parts  of  the

IV  INTRODUCTION 

legs,  and  are  always  to  be  more  readily  recognized  as  being  borne 
on  a  definite  part  of  the  body,  and  invariably  in  an  erect  position. 

In  the  "  Systematischer  Index  der  Cicindeliden,"  published  by  Dr. 
Horn  in  1905,  he  attempted  the  arrangement  of  the  species  on  the 
grounds  outlined.  A  comparison  of  the  list  therein  given  with  that 
in  the  Genera  Insectorum  discloses  numerous  modifications,  in  the 
order  of  the  genera  and  of  the  species,  as  well  as  in  the  relative  values 
of  subspecies  and  varietal  forms,  all  of  which  modifications  have  un- 
doubtedly been  brought  about  by  the  author's  more  recent  investiga- 
tions of  the  subject.  In  the  case  of  the  North  American  genera,  for 
instance,  the  "  Index "  places  the  Cicindelini  first,  followed  respec- 
tively by  the  Tetrachae,  Omus  and  Amblycheilae.  In  the  Genera  Insec- 
torum Amblycheilae  lead,  with  Omus,  Tetrachse  and  Cicindelini  follow- 
ing. In  both  publications  the  Cicindelini  are  broken  into  six  geograph- 
ical divisions,  to  one  of  which,  the  "  Nearktische,"  are  assigned  the 
species  inhabiting  North  America  as  far  south  as  "  Nicaragua-Costa- 
rica," omitting  the  West  Indian  forms  which  are  included  with  the  South 
American.  These  Nearctic  species  Dr.  Horn  has  separated  into  six- 
teen groups,  each  distinguished  by  peculiar  features  in  the  vestiture, 
set  forth  in  the  respective  introductory  paragraphs,  literal  transla- 
tions of  which  will  be  found  in  their  proper  places  in  this  publication. 
The  list  of  specific  forms  in  the  Genera  Insectorum  is  accompanied 
by  a  wealth  of  bibliographical  references,  the  value  of  which  can 
hardly  be  estimated.  They  form,  in  their  entirety,  the  guide  to  a 
comprehensive  history  of  the  genera,  such  as  has  not  before  been 
attempted,  adding  immeasurably  to  the  interest  and  scientific  value  of 
the  work. 

The  concluding  pages  of  Dr.  Horn's  work  in  the  Genera  Insectorum 
(pp.  443*4),  forming  the  "  2d  Supplement,"  and  penned  in  April,  1915, 
are  occupied  in  part  with  a  rearrangement  of  the  Omus  Table  of  a 
preceding  portion  of  the  work  (pp.  I24'6),  and  includes  forms  at  that 
time  unknown.  This  rearrangement  has  been  used  by  the  editors  on 
pp.  i,  2  and  3. 

Dr.  Horn's  order  of  classification  of  the  species  and  of  their  varietal 
forms,  has  been  scrupulously  followed  by  the  editors  of  this  compila- 
tion. They  have,  however,  in  the  selection  of  type,  employed  such 
styles  as  would  more  readily  express  the  author's  distinction  between 
such  varietal  forms.  Specific  names  are  printed  in  bold-faced  type,

italics  being  used  for  synonymic  names,  and  for  those  exhibiting,  in 
the  opinion  of  the  author,  minor  differences  of  slight  importance; 
ordinary  Roman  type  is  used  for  names  of  forms  of  subordinate  rank, 
and  where  such  names  are  preceded  by  a  numeral,  the  Roman  numerals 
(I,  II,  etc.)  indicate  the  higher,  the  Arabic  (i,  2,  etc.)  the  lower  rank; 
the  abbreviations  (dlt-F,  etc.)  preceding  some  of  the  names  in 
Roman  type  indicate  certain  characteristics  of  color  or  maculation 
which  are  thus  explained : 

alb-F  Form  with  white  or  substantially  white  elytra. 

c-F  Bluish  Form. 

cc-F  Blue  Form. 

cfl-F  Form  with  markings  entirely  confluent  at  margin. 

con-F  Form  with  marginal  middle  spot  confluent  with  the  corre- 
sponding discal  spot. 

cmpl-F  Form  with  fully  developed  normal  markings. 

dlc-F  Form  with  markings  uniformly  reduced. 

dlt-F  Form  with  markings  uniformly  widened. 

hm-F  Form  with  a  complete  humeral  lunule. 

inorn-F  Form  without  any,  or  any  important,  markings. 

mtl-F  Metallic  Form. 

n-F  Blackish  Form. 

nn-F  Black  Form. 

r-F  Red  Form. 

scfl-F  Form  with  partial  confluence  of  markings  at  margin. 

v-F  Greenish  Form. 

vv-F  Green  Form. 

v-c-F  Greenish-blue  Form. 

The  notation  of  species  used  in  these  pages  is  that  of  the  author. 
It  is  proper  to  add  that  this  work  has  been  prepared  and  is  pre- 
sented to  American  students  with  the  knowledge  and  cordial  consent 
of  Dr.  Horn.

I.  Four  front  trochanters  with  constant  hairs.  Cheeks  naked,  or  with 
distant,  often  very  sparse,  not  decumbent  hairs,  never  closely  clothed  with 
decumbent  white  hairs.  Clypeus  often  setose.  Front  with  discoidal  constant 
hairs,  often  erect,  or  with  numerous  supra-orbital  constant  hairs.  Middle 
part  of  occiput  never  regularly  clothed  with  decumbent  hairs  directed  down- 
wards.1 Front  never  setose  above  the  antennal  insertion  only.  Disc  of 
the  front  often  slightly  excavated  at  middle  or  with  the  occiput  separated 
therefrom  by  its  strong  declivity.  First  antennal  joint  often  thickly  beset 
with  short  setae.  Pronotum  at  least  rudimentally  pubescent  at  sides,  often 
both  circummarginally  and  discoidally.  The  hair  structure  is  often  long 
and  fine,  almost  always  (all  or  in  part)  erect;  when  the  front  is  more 
strongly  setose,  decumbent  hairs  usually  occur  on  the  pronotum.2  Edge 
of  front  and  hind  margin  without  a  well-developed  fringe  of  hair.  Pros- 
ternum  almost  always  naked.  Breast  at  sides  always  with  countless  hairs. 
Femora  on  the  posterior  edge  (and  sometimes  also  on  anterior  edge  espe- 
cially the  front  femur)  with  long  erect  hairs  but  never  uniformly  clothed 
over  the  entire  outer  side  (under  side)  with  fine  short  decumbent  hairs, 
nor  with  fishhook  hairs.  Constant  hairs  on  the  coxae  and  the  supra- 
orbital  margin  usually  numerous. 

1  This  middle  part  of  the  occiput  is  either  entirely  naked  or  clothed  with 
erect  hairs   which   are  directed   either  upwards   or   from   the  middle  towards 
the  sides. 

2  Decumbent   pronotal    pubescence,    in    combination   with    seta,    occurs    only 
in  Cicindela  formosa,  hirticollis,  pimeriana  and  pulchra. 

*  Not  noted  by  Dr.  Horn  as  occurring  north  of  Mexico.

cent (the  hairs  at  least  in  part  erect).  All  the  femora  provided  with  a 
uniform  thick  more  or  less  short  fine  decumbent  pubescence  on  the  entire 
outer  (under)  side  and  on  the  greater  part  of  the  inner  (upper)  side  and 
without  long  erect  hairs  or  coarse  setae.  Tibiae  and  tarsi  with  distant  erect 
setae  and  with  thick  fine  short  decumbent  hairs.  Elytra  ovoid,  convex, 
without  humeral  angles.  Supraorbital  constant  hairs  never  specially  nu- 
merous (Dromo chorus,  Guerin).

The  description  of  Cicindela  ventralis,  of  Newman,  in  Edward  Doubleday's 
Travels  in  Florida  (The  Ent.  Mag.,  V,  414,  1838)  seems  to  have  been  over- 
looked by  Dr.  Horn.  As  the  name  is  but  a  synonym  of  C.  abdominalis 
Fab.,  the  omission  is  unimportant  but  perhaps  should  be  noted  to  complete 
the  record.  See  also  G.  Horn's  note  on  the  subject  in  Entomologica  Americana 
I.  3.  June,  1885  [Editors].

The  Editors  regret  that  in  transcribing  Dr.  Horn's  table  of  the 
Tetrachae  some  omissions  have,  inadvertently,  been  made,  all  of  forms 
not  noted  by  Dr.  Horn  as  occurring  north  of  Mexico.  To  the  list 
printed  on  p.  3,  carolincnsis,  Lat.,  and  Boisdurali  and  Hopfneri,  Gistl 
should  be  added  as  forms  of  T.  Carolina,  L. ;  ignea,  Bates  as  sub- 
species of  T.  sobrina,  Dej.,  and  obscura,  Dej.  as  form  of  T.  angustata,
